Mean Black Moan Lyrics

 

It's a mean black moan:and it's lying front of my door

When I leave chicago:lord I ain't coming back no more

Ninety men were laid off:at the railroad shop

And the strike in chicago:lordy lord it just won't stop

I'm tired of mean black moans:friends lying front of my door

But when I leave chicago lord:i ain't coming back here no more

All around my bed

 

I wish somebody:might be able to kill the black moan dead

 

Every morning:lord rent man is at my door

 

And my man hasn't worked lord:in two or three weeks or more

 

It's all I can do lord:ah fight for my life

 

 

But when the strike is over:lord I will be all right
